What happens to this waste

Once collected, the plastic waste is shredded, washed and then pelletized. These pellets can be used for a number of moulded rigid plastic products like benches, or used as film for products such as rubbish bags. Click here to learn more about the recycling process.

Rewards

This programme offers 100 TerraCycle® points for each kilogram of yogurt pouches and caps sent. However, the points will only be awarded if the parcel reaches the minimum weight of 2 kilograms.

For example:
1 kilogram = 0 TerraCycle® points
2 kilograms = 200 TerraCycle® points
3.5 kilograms = 350 TerraCycle® points

Please note that TerraCycle® points are credited to the accounts of public drop-off location administrators and private collectors as a reward for their collection efforts. The number of points given is determined by the weight of the parcel. 1 TerraCycle® point is worth 1 cent.

Once credited, the points can be redeemed into financial donations to the charity or school chosen by the owner of the points. The points must be redeemed on the TerraCycle® website.
